I thought a film with him as the villain would be more psychological than action. That's exactly what it was to be honest. There was still action, but not sure how you can come away from that and think the Riddler wasn't calculating and wasnt' obsessed with Wayne Spoiler On 18/03/2022 at 19:40, StewieGriffin said: I also doubt he'd have been caught because some woman saw him sneak down a drainpipe.

Brumerican Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I watched it this morning and thought it was superb. Easily my film of the week. There's not actually a great deal of action to be honest but it was plenty enough for the story. I'll be humming that Nirvana bassline til Sunday at least.

tomav84 Posted March 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2022 it's weird timing to be fair. although it kinda backs up a theory i had Spoiler i think the next film could be chronologically prior to the first as this deleted clip indicates that both batman and joker know each other, and i suspect batman actually is the one that put joker away in the first place. the next film could be a more of an origin story and joker is the first main villain that he captures or could just go more simple and have joker escape arkham and maybe chuck in a few flashbacks to when he was hunting joker down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don't think he has the right look for the Joker. He seems a bit pathetic—and in the wrong way. I know a lot of Jokers have that kind of origin, but with this actor specifically, it doesn't feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler i guess because he's been caught. he's been outsmarted and no longer a mastermind villain as a result if/when he breaks out of the asylum he might become less pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he's way too helpful in that scene. I kind of think the writing in the scene is a bit pants. The first time you experience the Joker properly you don't want him locked up and impotent dropping in lines hinting at a more interesting story/relationship with Batman—I'd want to see it. You wouldn't want to see him actually help Batman just while looking at some photos. The only jokery thing he does is he laughs a few times, but yeah just seems a bit lame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2022 Spoiler I don't know what the fascination is with making the Joker look grotesque/broken these days. That performance is... Oof... as well. I could see Keoghan being a good, younger Joker, but on that showing he's going for what I reckon he could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm a bit late to the party here but I thought it was decent enough, its hard to be much more when my expectation was sky high to begin with. My main gripe was with THE Batman walking around regular places such as nightclubs and active crime scenes with regular detectives doing their jobs. It just felt a bit like he was a bloke wearing a party costume at times; A bit of a throwback to the Adam West days. Just took me out of the moment. Batman should stay in the shadows. Maybe this feeling will ease on repeated viewings. I hope so as the rest was pretty atmospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it’s the best Batman ever, but it’s in the conversation. It was excellent 5 minutes in I told my wife that R Patt was my favourite ever Batman. I thought he was excellent and so was the movie. I think its the best one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Disney+ were the same with some of their films (I think they were charging £20) but at least they had the excuse that they didn't get a cinema release because of Covid to make money. How they can justify charging more than it costs to see it in the actual cinema is absolutely beyond me. I guess because mugs will pay it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because mugs will pay it I dont understand them, but as you say there are a few mugs out there that would pay it. I haven't had sky in about 5-6 years. I left them after they increased my bill by a stupid amount. They wouldn't reduce it (but then i noticed if you was a new customer you can get it for half the price i was paying) so stuff them! Cant see many takers at £12 just to rent. That is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was excellent and so was the movie. I think its the best one. Not for me. It was good but certainly not my favourite. My order of batmans from best to worst are Keaton bale, pattison, affleck Clooney and kilmer. Kilmer was definitely the worst. I thought pattison played the role of bruce wayne brilliantly though. Definitely between him and keaton for top spot Edited April 20, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
